In my opinion, a balance of both traditional and online schooling works well depending on the person that’s learning. Traditional schooling allows the student to have an interaction with a teacher and other students which enable them to build their social skills and personality. In addition, having a teacher guide students through the learning process allows students to be able to ask questions in areas they may be struggling in. The teacher becomes aware of where the student is weak. The teacher is then able to target that area, focusing on it so the student and other students may gain a better understanding of the subject.

On the other hand, online schooling allows the student to become more independent enabling the student to understand the concepts at their own pace. If a class is progressing too rapidly for the student to follow along, they could rely on online tools and programs to gain the extra practice and help they need. If a class is too slow, the student could move ahead. The online methods may be easier to follow for some students and it fosters independent learning which is a skill necessary at the college and professional levels.  

Again, it depends on what kind of learner the student is: a visual learner- learns through viewing images, auditory learner- learns through listening and discussion, read-write learner- learns through text-based material, or a kinesthetic learner- learns by using their senses and hand-on activities. Each style of learning attempts to target the vast variety of learners, however, where one may lack, the other can support and strengthen. Considering this, a balance between traditional and online schooling would allow the student to gain more experience using these different methods. In addition, every type of learner may understand the concepts in their own individual way.
